cider head Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Young lads having a drink and a laugh on their day off, ok sounds good just as long as the same light is shown when fans chuck piss off the corporate balcony of the new west stand then fair shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Is that not Mark Ashton in one of the pics? I hope not, as that don't sit right with me. Thankfully no city players dragging the clubs reputation down. Does back up many people's theories on footballers though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Even tho strictly he's done nothing wrong, by association Ayling has given the club some bad publicity here. No bother with them having a few drinks but you've gotta be a bit smarter lads. Fully expect he and maybe others will be in for a bollocking first thing! Learn the lesson and move on hopefully...

ScottishRed Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have no problem with young professional athletes having a few few drinks at the right time - frankly this is not the right time. Sure go to the races, sure enjoy yourself,but getting involved in stuff like this isn't on. Lets see how may on here that are condoning it are happy if we lose 0-3 on Saturday. I am not a professional sportsperson, I wish I was, but there is a time and place, and for extremely well paid footballers - yes even at BCFC - that is in the summer, not now.

Lrrr Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 To be fair they train very little per day, if they've done what is required of them at the club and they're not drinking then there isn't an issue with them going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your absolutely spot on. Yes they are young lads and yes, they have to let their hair down and enjoy themselves....BUT...this was not the time and place. These lads get paid an obscene amount of money, and for that reason...they should be professional at all times. I have no problems with going out on a Saturday night. They more then likely have Sunday off. Today though? They are preparing for a big game on Saturday...and to be out drinking just 4 days before just isn't good enough. Really disappointed to see this I have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Was a City player pictured with a drink? Every picture I saw had them standing around. And if they have had 1 or 2 for example the effects of it would be burnt off through the rest of the day before they've gone to bed and therefore no lasting effect the next day. If the club don't trust them to be professional then I highly doubt they'd have even been allowed to go or expect there would have been someone from the club there keeping an eye on them.

Northern Red Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I very much doubt that they'd have been drinking if they weren't allowed, knowing that the place would be rammed with paparazzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 If I was his manager I'd be having seriously strong words with him, in fact I wouldn't even wait until 2moro I'd be banging on his front door. You want the right players at the club, players who can act professionaly at all times. He himself has done no wrong but by socialising with the wrong type him and the club find themselves on the front page of the sun. I'd be warning him strongly about who he associates with. Personally it appears he is somewhat enjoying his friends behaviour and that's worrying. I think this could beginning of the end for him here.

Charliesboots Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ahhhhh is this the right time to use the word "Banter"? Fxxk give a couldn't - rearrange that sentence and that's my feelings on this. A scene replicated in the majority of the boxes and beer tents at Cheltenham today and the rest of the festival (where I've seen much worse by the way) I was in a group that included a few England internationals that evaded the Met's finest at Lords after "high jinks" got a bit out of hand - didn't stop one of them scoring a hat trick the following afternoon. As long as they are right for Saturday what they do in their spare time is their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate issue is we have made similar excuses for a Bevy (bad pun) of players particularly, but not limited to, from the Wilson era. I agree with your sentiment but fear a culture we have seen before too many times. My guess is LJ will not be pleased not necessarily about the drinking but the reflected ignominy of being stood next to a 'piss artist' and around birds with their baps out!

I'm not even sure if you've wrote all that just to be controversial, in fact I hope you have because if not you are an absolute b*****d. What has he actually done apart from stand there and watch his mate do it? What's he supposed to drag him to the toilet?
